The governor of New Mexico in his an
nual report says the increase of population
in the territory in the last two years has
been about "A, 900, and at the present rate
the population of the territory will be 2OO,-
600 in 1890. The rate of taxation is less
than , per cent. The governor thinks it is
only a question of time when the cattle
ranch will be thing of the past. He
therefore opposes any change in the land
law in the interest of this industry which
is in its nature inimical to the development
of the territory. The output of gold and
silver for 1886 is given as 81, $40, ,OOO di-
vided between gold and silver in the pro
portion of one to five. The effect of the
compulsory school law passed by the last
legislature has been good.
About 80 prominent steamship owners,
yachtsmen, merchants and ex marine reve-
nue. officers met in New York recently, and
adopted resolutions favoring the establish
ment of congress of naval reserve, to
consist of officers and men from the mer-
camille marine, yachtsmen and watermen
generally, and of vessels TO be built with
reference to their being used in time of
war as auxiliary to the regular navy, such
reserve to be established on the great lakes
as well as on the seaboard, and to be to the
navy something similar to what the militia
is TO the army.

of Ricketts's Battery in the war, died on

The vineyard Haven Fog Horn.

Vineyard Haven, or Holmes Holl as it
was formerly called, is now nearly rebuilt
from the terrible fire of 1888 which de
stroyed the greater part of the place. Be
tween the two peninsulas ON the northern
extremity of the island of Marthas Vine
yard is Vineyard Haven harbor, safe re-
treat for vessels in storm. At the ex-
treme end of each peninsula is a light
house, and near the West Chop light is
building in which the fog horn is located
Two large steam boilers are placed side by
side, one being kept in reserve in case OF
accident Connected with each of these
boilers is a wheel IA inches in diameter, on
which, equidistant from each other, are
two cogs When the wheel is in motion
the cog strikes a lever that opens valve
through which the steam passes TO small
cylinder on the roof of the building, and
the sound continues for three seconds, and
then comes an interval of % seconds be-
fore striking the second cog. In this way
two sounds of the horn are produced in
each minute.

We all remember the old one "The cab
in Of Uncle Tom was a small log building
close adjoining to the house, as the negro
pdr crcciIcucr designates his masters dwell
ing. In front it had a neat garden patch,
where every summer strawberries rasp-
berries, and "A variety of fruits and vegeta-
bles nourshed under careful training
1t was small-very small as dweling-place
for Uncle Tom and his wife and the row Of
little woody heads Inside, its one gener-
al apartment was even more limited in
space than Boflins Bower though, like the
bower, a strip of howery carpet marked off
one corner for drawing room, while the
spot where vegetation ceased was covered
by table that indicated the dining room
and still another corner was distinguished
as the kitchen by goodly cooking stove,
redolent Of griddle-cakes. It was very
small place for so many people TO live in,
and, TO add to their discomfort, they were
slaves.
Nous aroas changt tout ceia. That is to
some extent The cabin is now at the
North, instead of the South Uncle Tom
is white not colored. And the cabin is
very much larger, forty or fifty times as
large. 1t is so large now that we no long
er call it "A cabin, but a tenement, possibly
because ten persons live in the space which
nately, there are more Uncle Toms TO oc-
cupy the larger space fifty or sixty times
as many Uncle Toms. So each one gets no
more space TO himself than his southern
slave brother had. There is the same one
little room for drawing room, dining room
and kitchen alas it is sometimes also
sleeping room and laundry. For the north
ern Aunt Chloe cannot move her tubs out
into the fresh air, or send the children rol-
licking out under the sky, over the grass,
all over the sunny wide plantation. Land
is expensive in New York we cannot af-
| ford space around the cabin. 1t is not, as
in the old days, adjoining to the house
of its owner. Oh, no the owner lives

DEMOCRATIC SIMPLICITY.

THE PRESIDENT AND MRS CLEVELAND on
THEIR TRAVELS THROUGH THE WEST AND
SOUTH.
President Cleveland left Washington last
Friday on his projected trip through the
West and South. Besides the President and
Mrs. Cleveland, the party consists of Col.
Lamont, Wilson s. Bissell of Buffalo, and
DR.. J. D. Bryant of New York, who was
member of Mr. Cleveland's staff while gov
ernor of New York The trip is made in
a train of three Pullman cars, fitted up
with every modern convenience and luxury.
The first car is what is known as com
posten car, the forward end being used as
baggage room. Next TO this is as elegant
and well appointed a library and smoking
room as would be found in any private
hoase bath room and barbers shop are
also in this car. The second car is the
sleeper "Velasco, built upon the latest and
most approved model, with drawing rooms
and all the conveniences with which pas
sengers on the Pennsylvania vestibuled
limited train are familiar.
The Pullman palace car. which goes as
the last car on the train, is devoted
exclusively to the use Of President and
Mrs. Cleveland. 1t did similar service for
General Grant during his administration,
and has frequently been used by distinguish
ed foreigners for trips through this coun-
try, as well as by President Arthur, Peter
| Cooper, and other Americans Of promi-
nence. This car was built by Mr.. Pullman
some II years ago, and has lately been en-
trely reftted and refurnshed. The rear
end Of the car is an observation Dom with
broad plate-gass windows. Next TO this
are the sleeping and dressing rooms. They
are daintily furnished in white maple, with
large folding bed and all the latest con
veniences which Mr.. Pullman has devised
for the comfort of travellers. The main
saloon. which will be used as a dining and
sitting room, is handsomely finished in oak,
with an old gold carpet and upholstery of
rich terra-cotta silk plush. fine parlor
organ and writing desk are built in at one
end. The forward end of the car is occu-
pied by the kitchen, which contains every
convenience that the heart of the most &C
complished chef could desire.
One Of the striking novelties and great
est improvements Of the train, which adds
in marked degree to the comfort and
safety of the passengers, is the vestibule'
on the cars, which practically brings the
whole train under one roof, so that Mrs
Cleveland can pass from one car to another
or can get at her luggage in the forwarC
compartment of the first car with as mucl
ease as she can 20 from one room to anoth
er in the White House The train is light
ed by electricity from storage batteries un
der each car.

MISCELLANY.
Indian summer.


Down from the blue the sun has driven,
And stands between the earth and heaven
In rubes Of smuuld'ring flame,
A smoking cloud before him hung,
mystic veil, tor which no tongue
Ofearth can find a name;
And DER him bends the vault Of blue,
with shadowy faces looking through
The azure deep profound;
The stiffness Or eternity
glory and a mystery
Encompass him around.
The air Is thick with golden haze,
The woods are IN a dreamy maze,
The earth enchanted seems;
Have we not left the realms Of care,
And entered I'm the regions fair
We see In blissful dreamsy
The OK, let loose 10 roam at will,
Is lying by the water still;
And on yon spot Of green
The very herd forget TO Craze,
And look IN wonder and amaze
Upon the mystic scene.
And yonder Lake Ontario lies,
AS II that wonder and surprise
Had hushed her heavng breast;
And lies there with her awful eye
Fixed on the quiet Of the sky
Like passion soOthed to rest,
Yon very maple feels the hush
That trance Of wonder, that doth rush
Through nature eyerywhere
And meek and saintlike. there she stands
with upturned eye and folded hands,
As If in silent prayer.

A Terrible Indictment.

iEEblA Tue AAuAhAllu lNioiAsl
In letter to the Baltimore Sun, which
had grossly calumniated Mr.. Cowan, the
leader of the reform Democrats in Mary
land, Mr.. Cowan draws vivid picture of
the condition which he and his friends are
trying TO remedy
"And now, for some time past, you have
been the apologist, open or silent, for the
most disgraceful regime that the city ever
knew. Election after election has been
carried by barefaced fraud The city's
payroll is gradually assimilating to the po-
lice records. Murder, pure and simple, is
recognized as Il political service to be re-
warded in both national, state and munici-
pal appointments of trust in the persons OF
Busey Buchheimer, Koenig, Burke, Ken
nedy and Goodrich. Think of the list
Seven murderers A host of others, known
to us all, who have not taken life, but only
tried to do so-Owings, Carter, Butch
Murphy, Mike Murphy and a long line
swell the roll and disgrace our city. a
murder is planned and carried out with
sensational deliberation merely to stop d
bolt in an important ward. The party
shows its hand in the attempt TO get rid OF
the states witnesses made by a man high
record draw pay from the city for theil
evil activities in our ward. Twice doe
Gov. Lloyd allow the ballot boxes of thi
city to be looted, and in spite of the scan
dial has third time refused minority repre-
sentation ON the board. His supervisor
twice fill the polling places with judges from
the very scum of the earth-men who's
bleached faces tell you, as you look in tn
polling places, that they are of the elias
who sleep by day and not by night, tn
spawn of the brothels and small gambling
dens of the city. Three supervisors, de
graded for all time, resign under the storm
of popular wrath"
Harper's Weekly copies the foregoing AM
then adds what seems to us an almost equa
impeachment of the President as follows
"These are the men, the influences, tn
methods, which compose and maintain tn
German ring in Maryland, and by some eS
traordinary moral contradiction this is tn
state of things which the President is al
parently sustaining against his own views
his own friends, and his own fame.

Scrbner's Magazine for October has for
its leading article a richly illustrated de
scription of ." The Paris School Of Fine
Arts, by Henry o. Avery, who is a grad
uate of that institution and therefore writes
from abundant knowledge and with true
appreciation. The article opens with a
brief sketch Of the founding and growth of
the school. describes the architectural beau
ties Of the buildings, and gives an interest
ing insight into the methods of instruction
and the system of prizes which creates such
intense competition among the one thousand
students The illustrations were made from
the handsome photographs of the buildings,
which are exclusively made by the French
government. This number contains also
the seventh and concluding installment of
the Thackeray letters, which have so com
pletely won the praise and even the affec-
ton Of the reading public in this country
and England. All the letters in this install
ment were written during Thackeray' 5
American visits, and contain amusing and
always good natured descriptions of the
leading American cities in which he lectur
ed Two Thackeray portraits, taken late
in life, are reproduced.
The Atlantic Monthly for October open,
with series of letters edited by Lucretif
P. Hale and Edwin L. Bynner, which ar,
published under the title of AN Uncloset
ed Skeleton" Whether they really are ole
letters, or clever story cast into the form
of correspondence, the reader must discov
er for himself Their theme, however, is
psychological phenomenon which is, to sa!
the least, bewildering. DIR. Holiness fina
paper in his series, ''Our Hundred Days il

vations on the climate of England, its fori
and fauna the dress and general appear
ance of the English, and also London clubs

on England and the English. The tragi
incident in the instalment of Mrs 'Oliphant'
serial serves to bring out that power whicl
she never shows TO better advantage thai
when she depicts some sudden and terribl
occurrence in the midst of the prosaic sur
roundings of everyday life. Besides thes

PENSION RECORDS
A CnuStic Letter of Companion from
Mr.. Edward Mcpherson.

A Cnustic Letter of Comparison from
Mr.. Edward McPhersOn.
The friends Of President Cleveland have
continually made the assertion, since the
veto of the dependent pension bill that he
has signed more pension bills than his Re
publican predecessors Arthur, Hayes and
Grant-combined and without data at
hand for contradicting the assertion, it has
often been allowed to go unchallenged. To
get at the truth of the matter Senator ALI
son asked the Hon. Edward Mcpherson of
Gettysburg, Pa, ex member Of Congress
and ex clerk of the House, to look the sub
iect up and inform him of the facts. Mr..
Mcpherson did So and following is his
statement in full

My DEAR SIR The statement" TO which
YOU ask my attention, respecting "Presi-
dent Cleveland's official record on Union
soldiers, copied from the National View,
Washington ID. c. weekly paper, bears
the marks of preparation for purpose.
That purpose is to show that the Cleveland
administration is more entitled to the re
spect and confidence of the Union soldiery
Of the country than the administration of
either Grant or Hayes or Arthur. 1t seeks
to make the impression that Cleveland has
been more liberal and more just to the sol
diery than either of his predecessors. And
it claims in terms, that Cleveland has ap-
proved n more private pension bills than
Grant and Hayes combined, and l21 more
than Arthur
The Statements false both in its asser-
tions and its suggestions.
First. As to its assertions. The pension
